Hey Guys,

Hi everyone,
I was enrolled in a master's program and got a full-time (40 hours per week) NOC job when I was a student because the restrictions were lifted. I applied for the PGWP in December. I now have 1 year and 8 months of Canadian work experience.
I'm currently filling out my Express Entry profile and have a question:
Regarding the question about studying full-time while working, the rule is that a person must be in class at least 15 hours per week during the academic year to be considered a full-time student. This includes any period of workplace training that's part of the study program.
I'm unsure whether to select 'Yes' or 'No' for this question.
- If I select 'Yes,' I become eligible for the Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
- If I select 'No,' I am not eligible for the CEC. However, my concern is that selecting 'No' doesn't give me any points for the Canadian work experience I gained during my studies, which affects my score under the Federal Skilled Worker Program.
Additionally, I have 4 years of foreign work experience, and the points for that section also decrease when I select 'No.'
Any advice on how to proceed?
